Eureka!
Sixty-five degrees & overcast feels incredibly restful and refreshing. Flannel, jeans & boots. North country. I'm into it.

(by Erin Poettcker via)The lessons we learn from the wild become the etiquette of freedom. We can enjoy our humanity with it's flashy brains and sexual buzz, it's social cravings and stubborn tantrums, and take ourselves as no more and no less than another being in the Big Watershed. We can accept each other all as barefoot equals sleeping on the same ground. We can give up hoping to be eternal and quit fighting dirt. We can chase off mosquitoes and fence out varmints without hating them. No expectations, alert and sufficient, grateful and careful, generous and direct. A calm and clarity attend us in the moment we are wiping the grease off our hands between tasks and glancing up at the passing clouds. Another joy is finally sitting down to have coffee with a friend. The wild requires that we learn the terrain, nod to all the plants and animals and birds, ford the streams and cross the ridges, and tell a good story when we get back home.

Deer Tick at Waterloo Records
"Dirty Dishes"
Saw these boys bring an intimate in-store to Waterloo Records last week. I have to say, these Deer Tick gents seem like really swell guys. It didn't hurt that they opened with a Springsteen cover, though. I got a little choked up over my free Shiner. I'm not gonna lie, bros singing harmonies just gets to me.
"La La La"
The Last Pale Light in The West
Finally got around to checking out Ben Nichols' (of Lucero) solo album The Last Pale Light in The West, which he based on Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian. Really stripped down country feel & serious story telling. Love the album cover, too. Get into it.
